Here is a contribution. The crew is gathering around the special CN box car to learn about proper loading of LCL freight. The car has clear plastic panels and motion measuring equipment to show the effects of rough car handling.
Car was kitbashed many moons ago, was the subject of an article in RMC.
Not this week but :: Era current, Railroad Rheidol (South Wales)
1' 11" Guage built to haul timber down to the coast climbs 600ft in 12miles max grade 1/50 locals decided it was easier than horse and cart so passanger buisness got big, Then tourism got big in South Wales and the trains have just kept running.
There sure was! It wasn't something I could make up. My RMC article featured some prototype photos as well as drawings. The photos weren't mine so I can't show them.
That reminds me of the test car they made years back with a curved track (dipped) inside with a steel ball and a light on top and if you started or stopped too fast the ball would roll and touch the end walls completing the circuit, triggering the light...Game over!
Pulling a PRR Passenger car and caboose as a excursion is my NS Dash 9. Hes Giving the Future investor's a good look at the rail line and construction.
Old one But i like this one Pulling the local freight off the yard lead. It a bit fuzzy though It was a last minute shot really didnt adjust the setting's
Railphotog, well done. I saw pics of the real thing and yours is very much the same.
Steve B, that urban / inductry look and feel is awesome. Does the catenaries actually have power? Great shot of your loco
and rolling stock too. Your last shot is awesome, if somewhat sad for the ALCO The weathering is well done
johntealon30, looks like a "mean machine". Cool! Thanks for the pics
conrail92, like the view down the tracks. Keep posting away.
I took a bunch of photos this evening looking for one good one for this month's photo contest. These are all of the area around the pond at Cooley's Blue Ice.
Been copying some of my older slides using my digital camera, thought I'd post this one that sort of illustrates our current weather - COLD! Not too much snow though.
Photo was taken on a diorama, looking through a station platform. Engine is a custom painted Atlas S-4. Snow is cooking flour I liberated from the wife's kitchen.
